I'm a little worried about this one. Although AMD stopped making the
processors at the end of 2008, they were sort of popular for certain
super-cheap, small (for want of a better description) "Mac Mini
clones" that have been selling well in the UK. Like this one:

(but there are many variations from other manufacturers in the same
form factor). They're great machines, actually, totally silent and
consuming barely any power.
Here's the /proc/cpuinfo from one:
processor : 0
vendor_id : Geode by NSC
cpu family : 5
model : 5
model name : Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by National Semi
stepping : 2
cpu MHz : 398.477
cache size : 32 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu de pse tsc msr cx8 pge cmov mmx mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow up
bogomips : 798.13
Anyhow, don't worry about it too much ...
Rich.
